"Magic is the science and art of
effecting certain desired results by
means of a specific technique. By
its technique magic is distinguished
from religion, religion being essen-
tially an attitude of dependence
and surrender. The wizard, how-
ever, does not petition a superior
power; he compels it." With this
definition Prof. W. H. Worrell of
the Department of Semitics intro-
duced his lecture on "Early Chris-
tian Magic From Egypt," delivered
yesterday afternoon to the Summer
Session in Natural Science audi-
torium.
Prof. Worrell identified the gene-
sis of magic with the fall of Baby-
lon, 536 B. C., where magic was the
state religion. The Jews spread it
throughout the Near East, whence
it spread westward through Europe,
and is today practically universal
among the ignorant classes who
have not come in contact with the
rigid empiricism of modern science.
In extenuation of the claims of
magic, which is popularly consid-
ered "bad"-principally because of
its invariably anti-social applica-
tion-Prof. Worrell said that un-
doubtedly there was some grain of
truth, probably accidentally dis-
covered, in the various rites, spirit-
ual or medical, but being acci-
dentally discovered and not as the
result of straight-forward experi-
ment, it was taken into folklore as
a panacea where its application be-
came lost in mystery.
Slide illustrations wee translated
from the Coptic, the now moribund
Christian religion of Egypt, and of-
fered by Prof. WQrrell t show the
various types of magical exercises
ad etitns.
After sketching the "welter of
superstition" out of which Christi-
anjty emerged-te sanest-as a
relgion, Prof. Worrell assigned
magic a place with science in its
empiricis#, as contrasted with reli-
gwon based on faith, and closed by
aiig that "purely empirical
means are irrational, and only ex-
perence ean show what is ade-
quate,"

positive one," declared Prof. Wil-
liam H. Worrell, of the Semitics de-
partment, in welcoming the con-
vention of the American student

Jewish cultural idea is not the
strongest element in Jewish soli-
j darity. Jewishness is often merely
a feeling of separateness; as
though a Jew were merely a non-

Teuton Batters
Uzeudun To Win
Decisive Victory
(By Associated Press)
YANKEE STADIUM, NEW YORK, June 27.-The
driving right of Max Schmeling swept tonight over the rock ribbed
figure of Paulina Uzcudun and left the sturdy Basque a punch-
battered wreck along the path to the world's heavyweight cham-
pionship.
For fifteen rounds, before a crowd of forty-five thousand that
filled the big American League ball park, the flashing young Teuton
cut and slashed at Paulino's head and body, bullied and chased him
about the ring, and left him at the end a beaten and gory figure with
nothing but courage.
There were no knockdowns, but the lifting of Schmeling's hand
at the close of the fight was just a gesture. For the last six rounds,
the only quet on in the minds of the faithful who gathered for the

NEW* BULDING
Construction Will Start Soon On
Large $430,000 Grade School
Structure
BIDS BEING RECEIVED
Contracts will be let by the Uni-
versity next week for the construc-
tion of a new $430,000 building to
house pre-school, kindergarten and
grade school pupils, it was an-
nounced today by Dean J. B. Ed-
monson of the University school of
education. Bids have been received
and building operations will be
started as soon as the contracts
have been awarded. The structure
will be ready for occupancy in Sep-
tember, 1930.
The new building will be erected
on the University land immediately
south of University High school
bounded by Fast University Ave.
on the east, Monroe St. on the
south, and Tappan Aye. on the
west. In general outside pattern,
it will cigsely resemble the four-
story University High building and
will be of the same materials, if all
specifications go through as plan-
ned.
In addition to the usual class,
home and laboratory spaces, the
new structure will contain rooms
for the educational research. The
entire project will be under the
supervision of the newly appointed
director of educational research,
Prof. Willis Olson of University of
Minnesota, Dean Edmonson said.

"It is v;ery doubtful that the die-
tatorship in Spain can last many
more years, despite its great service
to that gogntry," said Prot, Arthur
S. Aiton of the history department
in an interview yesterday.
Professor Aiton has been in
France and Spain for the past year,
devoting his time to the historical
archives of those two countries. He
was traveling and studying on a
National Social Science fellowship
and made his topic "The Role of
America in French and Sparxish
Diplomacy from 1759 tq 179."
While in pursuit of material on this
suhject, he spent most of his time
in the cities q fPris, Valladolide,
Simancas, Madrid, and Seville,
While in Seville, he attended the
Spanish Exposition. This is an at-
tempt by Spain to cement together
the relationships of Spain and her
former colonies of the western hem-
isphere. She is succeeding wonder-
fully in doing this, says Professor

constructed in Spanish architecture
to house the exposition and con-
tains a fine art exhibit. The struc-
ture is surrounded by a huge well-
kept park that one finds only in a
town of .old Europe. Seville is vis-
ited by many more South Ameri-
